Like Cinco de Mayo, no we don't. National holidays are mostly christian and others like "Tiradentes" and of course the Independence Day.
I hate Mexico right now, I love my people but hate my nation, hopefully this election something will change I doubt it though, its a real shame.
That's an utterly retarded statement. In terms of fun holidays, the 4th of July is probably number 2 after Christmas. Hell, it might just be the best one. Fireworks, barbeque, summer, parades; it's undoubtedly better than anything you yuros have.
I agree with Kali. The fourth of July is like everyone's favorite holiday. Its even better than Christmas, in my opinion. I've never lived on mainland Europe but I remember when I lived in England the only holiday that even resembled the fourth of July was the fifth of November.
celebrating a national holiday and having fun Is fucking patriotic. Better kill some god Damn euros to feel American again.
What's the difference(other than the historical one)? All I know is that they've both got lots of fireworks.
What was that? Such as social laws, and a government that is with us, and not against us? Also, we have Queen's Day, which is undoubtedly one of the most fun holidays one can possibly enjoy. The fifth of November? What's on the fifth of November?
Bonfire night. Its origins are in the gunpowder plot, where Guy Fawkes and some other Catholic conspirators conspired to blow up Parliament.
You burn scarecrows that look like Guy Fawkes in a giant bonfire, have fireworks, drink, and generally have a good time.
Typical yuro. Retreat into your pathetically irrelevant political system every single time anything is ever better in the US. Like honestly, there's no reason at all to raise that issue, but since you're a (continental) yuro, you have to maintain that false sense of superiority at all costs, including common sense and logic. Here's some facts for you: Avg. cost in USD of 4th of July holiday $3,000,000,000 Avg. cost in USD of Queen's Day $850,655 Avg. cost in USD of 4th of July holiday as a percentage of US GDP 10^(-4) x 2.0562 or 0.00020562% Avg. cost in USD of Queen's Day as a percentage of Netherlands GDP 10^(-6) x 1.0914 or 0.0000010913999999999998% The numbers don't lie. Your holiday is several orders of magnitude shittier than ours.
Uhuh. True words, bro. True words. Yeah, spending money is obviously always superior. That is why I flush money through the toilet daily.
